Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western Maine and New Hampshire
National Weather Service Gray ME
248 PM EDT Tue May 28 2024
.DISCUSSION...
Showers are expected across the mountains this afternoon and
evening as a surface cold front pushes through the area. Besides a few
showers late tomorrow along the ME/NH border, this could be the last
chance of rain through at least the weekend. A prolonged period of
northerly flow is expected which will lead to Min R.H. values mostly in the
30-40 percent range away from the coast. Recoveries are still expected
to be excellent at night though. No significant winds during this
period.
